Hmm.

At least he'll be able to concentrate on 2010 now. Sammy get your body physically ready and explode on to the scene next year.

now the question is, who do we bring from the rookie list?

Good question! Maybe we leave Spencer in when Jamar is due back in a few?? Maybe Valents gets one last chance for a crack. Sounds like he has been going well of late in the magoos!

Our injury curse continues. I doubt he would have played much footy this year but gee what a setback!

Very sad news. The kid is a gun! As you said, our injury curse continues. Can we blame BOHDAN for this one?

If jamar is due back then we dont need spencer, with meeson doing well, jamar to come back in and PJ will do better at VFL than spencer...

With blease not in the main side i would prefer trying one of the untried rookies. Out of hughes and healey i think... healey looks ok but is only playing in the twos... hughes is still coming back from injury but is playing well at casey..

In the Sam Blease thread. Just want to warn you before someone comes in and starts abusing you for starting another thread.

Yeah! I am trying to delete it.

if this is true,

SAM BLEASE YOU ARE NOW A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER, YOU CANNOT PLAY SCHOOL YARD JACK IN THE PACK. DO YOU EVER SEE NBA PLAYERS PLAYING STREET BALL WITH THERE FELLOW HOOD MEN?

if this is not true then.

CARRY ON.

I dare say the kid will be feeling fairly average not only due to the injury but also for letting down of all MFC stakeholders....supporters included. Propably not appropiate to compund the situation with comments like the above (no pun intended).

Valenti has to be the man he's done nothing wrong and is still getting plenty of the ball, McKenzie could be the smokey. Hughes and Healey have just come back from injury.

Watts couldn't possibly play school football after this. Going down in a VFL game is understandable but getting injured at school looks completely stupid.

Can we track the kid who tackled him and slap the [censored] out of it*?! :rolleyes: :D

Terrible news for Blease, and generally for the club. Probably the best thing about football (except premierships... but I wouldn't know!) is watching young players develop. This has now obviously set him back significantly.

Still, he is 17, and when he retires in 15 years having won 3 premierships, a Brownlow and 2 B&Fs with Melbourne, none of us will remember the school-yard accident that ruined his first year in the game!

And if this has taught us anything, is that Jack Watts should be spending his lunchtimes in the library, covered in bubble wrap, with a 5m clear zone around him. Kids who dare to approach get slapped*.

*To violence against kids, Demonland says No (but Jaded says maybe... ;))!

Crud! Can we just get one season O footy gods. :angry:

Posted

can we please spare a thought for the kid that tackled him? he would probably feel sick in the stomach right now and will do for a very long time. he has also hamperred the chances of the school footy team as well...he would probably feel just as bad as bleasey, if not worse.

Posted

Apparently the kid who tackled him was a Rangers team mate.

This is bad news. I was dreading one of our young players getting an injuys like this.

As for people saying we should stop Watts from playing school footy now. Thats just stupid, you cant wrap the kid up in cotton wool for the next few years, the injury could have easily happened in a training session. Remeber when Spider Everitt sprained his ankle when he was walking in his backyard?

Posted

THis gives me the runs! For goodness sake, can we just get a clean run of luck of a while. Just 12 months would be good.

Injuries happen.....

Yes, it is frustrating....

Not many positives can come out of an injury to a young kid like this, but one thing is for sure..... He will be hungry as hell to get back into football once he has recovered....

And it also means he is forced to concentrate his gym work on his upper body for a while....

:P Just trying to find a silver lining...

Posted

One posative out of it is Sam will get to concerntrate on his studies.....which is what this year was all about anyway.

Good luck with a full & speedy recovery sammy

Posted

Seems strange in this day in age of professional football, that listed players still attend school.

Bad luck to the kid. Hope this doesn't erode his pace, as someone mentioned that was the main reason he was drafted.

Posted

Lets just hope Sam has a healthy recovery and is ready and prime to go for a full pre-season which he will be able to do given his schooling will be completed. Fingers crossed will be cherry ripe come November.

Posted
Sad unfortunate, but put it in a cast and get into the weight room.

Exactly what I was thinking.

he is lightning quick, but built like a bean pole. he told me he's put on some muscle, but he needs much more.

having said that, he has great evasive skills.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
